There are a few factors that contribute to one having cholesterol like genetically, eating high fat food, smoking or high blood pressure.  Sometimes, controlling our diet and exercising is not enough.  There are supplements which can help to lower down the cholesterol. I wonder is there any traditional ways to do it?  I was told, eating an apple a day in the morning on empty stomach, keeps the doctor away.  A cup of oat is helpful too.  Care to share your method of cholesterol treatment?
